Enough evidence to prove that global warming is real

[beatrix]

I have heard murmurs about this for a long time.
There supposedly isn't enough evidence to prove that global warming is real. Most of the carbondioxide released in the air comes from forest fires and volcanoes neither is under human control.
I maintain a neutral view on this. Thoughts ?

there is no doubt about the existence of global warming

there are many examples to its existence


1. melting of glaciers which haven't melted only before the last ice age

2. increasing climatic temperature around the world which is breaking many records of centuries

3. rapid climatic changes

4. unseasonal rainfall and heat in many parts of the world

5 changes in many animals and other species way of living and places because of changes in their natural habitat.

there are many more to prove this

very good explanation by arun. thanks for it.
It is clearly real. I am feeling not that winter is not as cold as it used to before 10 yrs.

[PUURO]

yes, global warming is real.
we can see some changes in our environment. irregular climatic changes and so on.

Obviously it is real. It is not a hype according to me, this is a case which needs some serious actions to be taken right now in order to save our planet. Global warming is increasing everyday and not enough measures are being taken up to stop this menace.

this has been the coldest winter in US history for a long time. The average temperature for the past 5 or so years has been decreasing. Is this included in the observation?

sorry to say this but global warming is not fiction and we can all see the reason why it is not just some fictitious stories. The irregular changes in climatic conditions we are experiencing right now is due to nothing but global warming. The melting of the glaciers is due to nothing but global warming. There are many other facts out there that support the idea that global warming is real and hence the need to stop it or face the consequences.

It's definitely true that the climate is changing, to suggest otherwise would be dishonest. I believe that the most important question is this: Is global warming caused by mankind or is it caused by a natural warming and cooling cycle of the planet as a whole?

Undoubtedly most people believe that it our putting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that is causing the global warming. Theoretically this does sound plausible, until you realize that other gases such as methane are actually stronger greenhouse gases than CO2.

I sometimes watch natural history documentaries, and I remember seeing one a couple of years back which said that the ice records show that there has always been a warming and cooling cycle of the earth.

The main problem I see is that global warming has become a political issue rather than just a scientific issue, therefore any evidence that suggests that what is happening might be a natural phenomenon is suppressed. Think about it, the government cannot lobby everyone with green taxes if manmade global warming is theoretical rather than supposedly proven fact.

I'm all for governments trying to cut pollution, that is admirable. What I am against is the suppression of the other side of the argument which threatens to put political orthodoxy around the subject on the chopping block. I don't know for certain which side of the argument is right, but I do think that both sides ought to be heard out equally.

Obviously it is true. It is not an exaggeration in my opinion, this is a case which needs some serious actions to be taken in this moment in order to save our planet. The total warming is increase day labourer & not enough measurements are taken to stop this threat.

Of course, global warming is real natural calamity which has adversely affected the environment and the people living on the earth too. Due to global warming, the sequence and the durations of different seasons has also changed and thus the agriculture does not getting benefit from the crops.

[dexxus]

Yes, it's real..Actually, we are experiencing it now..
And in fact, we have now this climate change..and I think
this is a warning for us, to make a step and work on preserving
the environment, for later on, we will all gonna suffer the consequences..

Well, there is no doubt the phenomenon called 'Global Warming' is taking place. But the fact that can be questioned is that Global warming is totally human induced. Yes, to a great extent, it's controllable, but the above mentioned sources contribute to a fair percentage of this process. But the thing is that the major share comes from fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. So we are acting as catalysts to this process.

Global warming is definitely a real global issues. The environmental scientists are not guessing but have estimates(although rough) of increasing year by year earth's atmosphere temperature. The horrifying result of global warming however has not been seen yet but it may cause tremendous impacts in near future . Melting glaciers may result in submerging of low lying land areas.

PEOPLE! We are only 75% sure that it is real. WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PROOF YET! Open your eyes: It is probably some sort of coincident! I don't want to be rude but, I do not want to waste my time on this. I didn't pick a side on this argument YET! Email me at serikov11@gmail. com if you have a reply because I'm a guest. Thank you!
